<p>I'm thinking about <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116122">@simulacrum</span>'s feedback that the "How to vision" page is kind of wordy. I don't disagree. I added a <a href="https://nikomatsakis.github.io/wg-async-foundations/vision/how_to_vision/status_quo.html#tldr">TL;DR</a> section to the "htv: status quo" and made the <a href="https://nikomatsakis.github.io/wg-async-foundations/vision/status_quo/template.html">template punchier too</a>.</p>
